A wave of regulation has turned what we sell into a must-have for Australia's biggest companies, and those deals are yours to win.
Picture this. You're responsible for modern slavery compliance or climate reporting at a major Australian company, and the board asks two simple questions.
"Can you guarantee there's no forced labour in our supply chain?" "Where is our biggest emissions impact actually coming from?"
Most people in that seat can't answer with confidence. They're working from spreadsheets, supplier surveys and reports that were never built for this level of scrutiny. And regulators aren't waiting. That gap, between what they can prove and what regulators now demand, is what you'll be selling into.
Why this is a great sales role right now
- The demand is driven by regulation. Recent reforms in Australia and new legislation landing in NZ mean our buyers are working to a deadline, not a "someday." The question usually isn't whether they need a solution. It's who they trust to get it right.
- Companies you'll recognise. Air New Zealand, AustralianSuper, Ramsay Health Care and Isuzu are among the companies that use us
- You'll help write the playbook. We're an AirTree-backed startup of around 25 people, still shaping our sales motion. You'll have a real voice in how we go to market, structure deals and engage buyers.
- The work matters. Every deal you close helps a company find and deal with forced labour, emissions and nature risk in its supply chain.
What we do
Fair Supply shows companies what's really happening in their supply chains, across modern slavery, emissions and biodiversity risk, right down to the supplier level. It's not tick-box compliance. It's real intelligence that helps teams find,
assess and act on risk, and report to regulators with confidence.
What working here feels like
You'll join a small, friendly sales team inside a company that's deeply ambitious about the work and genuinely kind with it. Egos don't run the show, and when someone hits a rough patch, people show up to help. You'll get real autonomy, no endless approval chains, and a leadership team that shares both the good news and the hard stuff.
We're not perfect. We're still building and figuring things out as we go. But we have clear focus, customers who love what we've built, and the kind of momentum that makes you excited to come to work.
The role
This is a full-cycle AE role selling into mid-market and enterprise teams across Australia and New Zealand, reporting to our Head of GTM. From day one you'll have a large pool of warm, engaged prospects to work, and you'll create your own opportunities through strategic outreach, smart targeting and consistent activity.
- Build your own pipeline. Work your account list, run targeted outreach, and own your activity and prospect-creation targets.
- Run discovery that finds the real problem. Get to how they track supplier risk today, where it's costing them time or exposure, and the pain they haven't spotted yet.
- Sell to a buying group, not one person. HR, legal,
procurement, risk and sustainability can all have a say, and they all buy differently. You'll multi-thread, bring the sceptics along and keep momentum.
- Lead the sale and demo what matters. Take buyers on a structured, consultative journey and tailor the demo to their world, showing the kind of risk that surfaces in the suppliers they'd never think to check, the ones they'd assumed were a safe bet, so it lands as a real problem, not a feature tour.
- Build the case and hold your value. Write proposals around the problems the customer told you about, and stay comfortable with procurement teams who negotiate from day one.
- Feed what you hear back in. Work with Product, Customer Success and Marketing to improve how we sell, support and generate demand.
- Keep HubSpot honest. If it's not in HubSpot, it didn't happen.
- Stay across the market. Know enough about ESG regulation and procurement trends to be credible with senior buyers, and represent us at industry events when needed.
The challenge
This is a complex product in a complex space, and many buyers are still working out what they need. A lot of the sale is education before comparison. You'll need to get smart on modern slavery, emissions and biodiversity reporting fast, and explain it simply. We're also still building our systems and processes, so things will change as we grow. If that sounds energising rather than stressful, you'll do well here.
You'll love this role if you…
- Have sold a technical B2B SaaS product end to end, from sourcing your own leads to closing, and can walk us through exactly how you do it.
- Have built real
